it was so much fun at the Orleans in Las Vegas, Neveda. I bought 9 world coins. pics later, and I bought many America the beautiful quarters playing catch up in my danco albums and presidential dollars too. I was taking pics of my favorite coin dealers and security came up to me and said I must delete their pics now wow. security threat to them. hmmmmm. he did how ever let me keep pics of the museum curator Mark Hall-Patton that is on the pawn stars tv show. I met him and took his pic. the other pics are of the hotel.

How much did you win?

 

won $60 then bought some drinks and had to show some restraint because I told myself that money $400.00 was for coins lol

 

Very impressive! WTG!

 

I like the Orleans. If you are in their slots club they send you a notice for a slots tournament every month (Monday, Tues., Wed., Thurs.) which you can go to for $100 for three nights and the slot tournament entry included. Nice, clean, lots of locals go there.

 

slots are never good to me. gave up gambling 5 years ago. I would rather buy coins or other things. I work hard for my money.

 

ok my girlfriend took the pics of my coins, but she was wearing a bright green t-shirt that has reflected green onto the coins taken in direct sun light. sorry about that... we will do better on the next coin show pics next time. enjoy:
